Administering Parallel Development using Workspaces

Parallel development enables Siebel Workspace users to create and to work on integration branches. This is useful when users work in a parallel development environment. Parallel development maintains the relationship between the design time (Workspaces) and the runtime repository tables even after the parallel development feature for Workspaces is enabled. Using the parallel development feature for Workspaces, you can create or open Workspaces from any parent or version Workspace and get a consistent manifestation of the runtime metadata.

This section describes how to administer the parallel development using Workspaces feature. Only users with the correct administrative permissions can perform these tasks, which include the following:

• Enabling the Parallel Development Feature for Workspaces.

• Understanding Integration Workspaces.

• Creating Integration Workspaces.

• Setting an Integration Workspace as the Default Workspace Branch.

• Setting System Preferences for Parallel-Development Workspaces.

• Launching the Web Client with a Specified Workspace.

• Deleting Integration Workspaces

• Difference Between Deleting Development and Integration Workspaces
